 great product September 1, 2008
Easy to install and configure. Stable performance. The best choice if you want to run Windows apps on a Mac.
Incredible Software! August 31, 2008
I have been running Fusion with XP Pro on my IMac for over a month now and all I can say is WOW! It's a breeze to setup and install and runs my PC applications flawlessly. Running both OS simultaneously is very convenient and I have not noticed a performance drop off when doing so. No need to reboot between the two OS as with boot camp which can be annoying/inconvenient at times. Similarly, file sharing between Leopard/XP Pro is easy and the overall stability of Fusion is amazing on the Mac hardware. For the flexibility this software affords Mac users I'm shocked how inexpensive Fusion costs. Great Product and literally a steal at this price. Fusion allows you to have the best of both worlds. In other words, you can have your cake and eat it too:)
It just works August 31, 2008
I have to run Microsoft Office 2007 and a few other Windows applications for school, but I like a lot of the Mac applications, especially the iLife suite. This product was easy to install, and makes it easy for me to run the windows applications side-by-side with my Mac applications.
VMWare Fusion August 31, 2008
I bought this and an OEM version of Windows Vista so my wife could run a few of her Windows-only programs on Leopard (iMac 24"). So far, I have only installed the Hallmark Card Maker Deluxe 2008, but installation of Vista and the Card Maker program were very intuitive and easy.
Before getting this, I was worried about what to expect when installing windows, but interestingly, Vista was easier to install with Fusion on the Mac than it is to install on a PC. Fusion handles all the installation questions and reboots. All you do is run the Fusion install, put in the Vista disk when it says, and let it go.
Highly recommended if you want to run Windows and not have to reboot with Boot Camp.
PS - The default hard drive allocation for Vista install is 20gb, but after installing Vista and the card maker program, that took up 15gb. Although you can add another virtual hard drive to the VM, I'd recommend just upping the initial default setting to around 30gb.
It works and it's pain-free August 29, 2008
I want to start off by saying that I am not a particularly techy guy. I used both a mac an a pc simply because some applications I needed for work wouldn't run on a Mac. Personally, I prefer to use OS. I knew about Parallels but the reports I had had were not emphasising it's ease of use. I've been using fusion for a couple of weeks now and it is great. It's simple to use. No major instructions needed, it is quite common sensical. The installation was painless. I no longer carry two computers. I did keep my pc for games. I haven't been able to run games on the mac yet. But no need, I'm quite happy as is.
There are plenty of long reviews here that will give you the details. But rest assured that if you're not that computer savvy but want to use windows and OS on your mac at once, get this product. It works and it's simple enough to use.
